This next model is also very rare. I got this one with a matching monitor
and a pile of tapes. This machine runs at 12 IPS giving a 40 minute recording
time per 7 inch reel with 2400 feet of tape. It also has a push button
video head cleaner. I believe that what makes this one different from the
plain vanilla NV-8100 (shown above) is the addition of the big red "edit"
button just above the white record key. This implies that Panasonic installed
a modification to the head drum servo or even added a capstan servo. I'm
in favor of the former. |
The monitor is all vacuum tubes, no solid state components at all! Does
that give you an idea of how primitive these pieces are? The 1968 catalog
lists a model called the "Newberry", which is the TV only version of this
monitor.
NEEDED: Service
manuals and or operators' manuals for this machine. |
